Did you see the new article on our project?

Yeah, but it was a bit confusing with all the unannotated sections.

I know! I wish they had added some notes to clarify things.

Same here, it would make understanding the data much easier.

Root Explanation

Unannotated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "annotate" (from Latin "annotare", meaning to mark or note). The word "unannotated" means not marked or noted, indicating the absence of annotations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'marks' or 'notes' ('annotate') — that's why unannotated means something that lacks any notes.
